Abstract

Results obtained by directly measuring the total cross section for photon-nucleon interaction through recording photoproduction processes at the Baksan underground scintillation telescope of the Institute for Nuclear Research (Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow) are presented. The effect of a faster growth of photon-hadron cross sections in relation to hadron-hadron cross sections is confirmed in the energy range \(\sqrt \mathcal{S} = 40 - 130 GeV\). It is shown that an increase in the number of additive quarks in photon-hadronization products may be one of the reasons behind this effect. Experimental data on the cross sections for photon-nucleon and photon-photon interactions are subjected to a comparative analysis, and the status of the results obtained from direct and indirect cross-section measurements in the high-energy region is discussed.
